floyd won the fight easily

easily? now thats nuthugging. i agree he won, but not in a very impressive or convincing manner. heck he couldnt even handle a brief exchange w/ oscar w/o going on his bike. he's contented w/ making potshots. and thats the diff w/ him and othe ATGs. ali and srl are quick like floyd, can do what floyd does, but they're not afraid to mix it up and they're not contented being on the outside the whole fight. and thats the reason also a lot of boxing fans cant seem to put floyd high on the ATG list.

Funny how about 95% of all analysts, boxers, and commentators had the fight going to Floyd.

About 95%?! :shocked:

Oscar (boxer) had it the other way, Floyd Sr (ex-boxer) had it the other way.

Ben Dirs (BBC) had it also not for floyd: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/boxing/6626009.stm

And a very nice article: http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&id=8526 had it not for floyd

These 4 are 5%, now show me about 95% (76) other analysts, boxers, and commentators opnions

dont be ridiculous... you cannot include oscar in your list, wtf do you expect him to say?
also floyd sr. is all the way for a rematch so he can hopefully get his share

ppl should understand that most ppl dont tell the truth when it is not in their best interest to do so.

its like believing floyd saying: "I am goint to stand and trade". of course he has to say that: it is in his interest to sell the fight. will he do it? no. most relevant for my point: does he even think he is going to do it? NO

I completely disagree with the punch stats the 1st 8 rounds of the fight. I trying my hardest to look for Floyd's countershots and all i saw was Oscar picking off many of Floyd's punches from rounds 1 thru 8. Neither fighter really landed solid shots up until that point,but Oscar was the aggressor and landed some body shots along the ropes .so you have to give him some of those close rounds. Floyd was not counterpunching as well as some think. Remember im just talking about the 1st 8 rounds.

I thought Oscar won rounds 2 ,3 ,4 ,6 ,8 with rounds 9 and 12 a tossup

Floyd - Rounds - 1 ,5 ,10 ,11 with rounds 9 and 12 a tossup

What Floyd did in rounds 10 and 11 ,that was not happening from round 1 thru 8. Oscar was picking off a lot of his punches,and Floyd also was not as aggressive those eariler rounds. Oscar wins this fight with ease had he jabbed more in rounds 9 ,10 ,11. Even if it was just 2 of those rounds,and he wins a decision.

So you think you are more accurate than Compu Box?

Round 9 a toss up?

Round 12 DLH nearly got dropped but thats a toss up?

Sigh.....what can you say?

lol.

you should be able to understand that

1) Ali never moved up in weight.

2) SRL never had a fight in a 5th weight division. when he fought for the lightheavy belt he fought at supermiddle, against a dehydrated donnie lalonde, who is not even comparable with Oscar p4p, (even when not starved to supermiddle).

so dont make ridiculous comparison. if you want to complain about the way floyd fought way above his natural weight you need to dig a little bit deeper and come up with robinson fighting maxim, or armstrong fighting at welter.
